Why did McCain pick this woman as VP?

Question

Great, I was going to vote for the guy. But now if he keels over (which is all entirely likely), we have someone (Palin) who has even less experience during a time of war. Now I am going to have to switch and vote for the lesser of two evils......Obama and Biden. For sakes, no one even knows anything about her.

Answer 1

For a while I was quite undecided on this whole thing.  Then I thought both people running were equally bad.  Then, as I learned more I felt that I agreed with Obama on the things he stood for, but was really unsure if he could actually deliver them. Now, I just don't care and I'll probably vote for Obama, McCain's VP choice was extremely important considering his age, and I really think he's got to be kidding.  I'm all for having a female VP or Pres. but only if she deserves to be there.  At least Obama has Biden.  This woman has only held office for 20 months and is facing a serious investigation at that!  No thank you.

Answer 2

C'mon man lighten up.  It doesn't matter who the president is.  The government and the economy is a run-away train.  Nobody's in charge.

We might as well have something in office that's at least easy on the eyes.

Dude let yourself go, relax check this babe out and vote for her.

Answer 3

Palin would then be the "flagbearer" for the REPUGNANTS. Her disdain for the voting public was aptly demonstrated when she took taxpayer dollars to override the WILL OF THE VOTERS in Alaska.  HELLO, VOTERS WAKE UP

Answer 4

McCain could not have made a BETTER choice!  I will vote for McCain now.  I'm impressed with his wisdom!

Answer 5

He wants to get a little vp action ;-)

Answer 6

he only did it so he he'd have someone to have an affair with while married to Cindy.

Answer 7

To pander to Hillary supporters because he thinks that women will vote for women because they're women.

I think he's going to be in for a surprise unless he produces some "substance" behind his campaign. All I'm hearing from the McCain camp so far is insults and character assassination of the other side.  I need real issues. Not: "Obama is a big poopy head!"  

Answer 8

"For sakes, no one even knows anything about her." --- well no one knew anything about Obama when he started running. I'd never even heard of him and figured he'd be out before he knew what hit him. Obviously that didn't happen.

<<we have someone (Palin) who has even less experience during a time of war>> --- and so Obama's experience in time of war is better?? C'mon...he hasn't got a clue. You're going to vote for Obama who has no war experience instead of McCain, who does, because in the even McCain dies she'll be president and she has the same amount of war experience as Obama. Is there logic to your plan? I don't see it.

How long was Obama a senator before he started campagining...it was like 2.5 years I think. He's just as much a babe in the political arena as Palin is, and he's running for Commander and Chief.

Answer 9

She would make a great Commander in Chief.

She shoots cute little fuzzy wolf puppies from an airplane.

We need a woman with a cold heart and true killer instinct to fight the Russians.

Answer 10

Here's the length of her experience:

Mayor for a small town in Alaska with a population of less than 8000 during the time.

Governor for less than 2 years for Alaska, a state that has just over 600,000 people.

She has less experience on issues than I have for christ's sake let alone letting her have access to foreign policy issues.  She has no idea what is going on in the world and even stated that in an interview on CBS this morning.

It's obvious that McCain is cynical and thinks Hillary supporters are really stupid people to think that 'oh look, McCain has a woman VP, I think I'll go vote for him now'.  Even though that woman is a creationist and totally anti-choice.

Answer 11

He needed balance in the looks department.

and Republican men are shallow.
